The Crucible

Arthur Miller’s American classic about a community wrecked by religious fanaticism
resonates as much today as it did when it premiered in 1953. Based on historical records,
"The Crucible" portrays the tragic horror of the Salem witch trials of 1692. After
being accused of breaking the town’s strict moral codes, a group of teen girls claim
to have been overtaken by witchcraft. Their finger-pointing causes an epidemic of
paranoia in the town, leading to a harrowing and deadly inquisition that leaves no
one safe from suspicion.
